In reply to Re: Suggestions for non-benzo anxiolytics PLEASE.., posted by torachan on May 23, 2008, at 19:34:46
Thanks Quintal & torachan, (hell - have we all gone Pokemon or what??) ;)
I see my pdoc again in 2 weeks, so I'll see how I go on the Moclobemide for the moment. I've taken my first dose a few hours ago and I do feel a little weird but not anxious, which is a good sign. So maybe it's working - definitely in the "can't possibly tell" phase at the moment of course.
I'll make a note of your other suggestions too if this doesn't work - thanks :)
The Tianeptine (Stablon, Coaxil) does sound appealing. Trouble is it's not available in Australia but I agree we can probably import it with a local doc's script. Trouble is, it's quite expensive. Recommended dose is 3x12.5mg tablets a day. That makes for just ten doses for USD$38 "at one site" plus I know that I get hit another $50 or so from the damn banks when I use this site.
My doc's a bit concerned about serotonin syndrome given my high doses of ADs. So he might not go for anything that he believes increases that risk too much.
Thanks again - I'll let you know how I go :)
Mr Be Damned.
